THE LEWIS AND CLARK TRAIL: EXAMINATION OF PIT FEATURES FROM FORT CLATSOP, OREGON, FOR POLLEN, PHYTOLITHS, PARASITES, STARCH GRANULES, AND MACROFLORAL REMAINS

Author(s): Linda Scott Cummings; Kathryn Puseman

Year: 2002

Summary

Ten samples collected stratigraphically through sediment from a suspected privy pit and a

post mold at Fort Clatsop, Oregon, were examined for pollen, starch, parasites, phytoliths, and

macrofloral remains to obtain information that might assist in identifying the function of these

features. The presence or absence of parasite eggs and/or recovery of probable food remains are

used to contribute to an interpretation of privy function.
